Just read over at Filmforce that AICN is reporting that Ray Liotta is close to landing the part of Dr. Doom. Another interesting, and odd, choice in my opinion...but then again, it is AICN, who has been known to be off from time to time.

You know, I just attempted watching the last Matrix schlock reel, and the whole sad realization that the cyberpunk movement had culminated with that reject being its poster child almost made me ill… not to mention how the franchise had struck the proverbial “final nail” on fetish fashion’s coffin, squishing every last drop into adolescent sub-standard scripting, like spray butter on 12 grain harvest toast- Gibson would be turning… were he dead & buried!

Superhero news today...first off, kind of a good news/bad news type of thing....Bryan Singer has been confirmed to be at the helm of the Superman movie now. Good news for Supes fans, however, he will not be working on X-Men 3. I hope that this franchise is able to continue (and with the same quality) without him aboard. We'll see what this does with the casting, release date (it was 2006), etc. for X3 now.

Also, The Avengers DVD is official. Sounds like it will be based on "the Ultimates" version of the team...including Captain America, Hulk, Iron Man, and Thor. There is also mention of development continuing on Iron Fist and Black Widow movies.

Also, it sounds like it is possible we might hear an announcement regarding a "live-action" Transformers movie at Comic-Con. You can read the details HERE

Went to see Spidey 2 this weekend for the second time, still just as amazing. Can't wait for the DVD of this one. SuperHeroHype also has some news of Spidey 3, possibility of two villains for the next installment.

I know Scott, I really don't know why the Avengers are getting the shaft...I think they would be great for a movie. I've heard rumors of an Iron Man movie in the not too distant future, but it would be nice to see the whole team in one...it could be great if done correctly. Any casting suggestions?

Agreed on Singer too, done very well with the X-movies...just wish he was still doing X3 as well. It will be interesting to see what comes of that movie now, it was originally scheduled for 2006 if I remember correctly.

SuperHeroHype.com has a nice article up discussing the Fantastic Four movie panel held at Comic-Con. Some interesting details in there, I'm kind of excited to see how this movie turns out. It doesn't sound like Thing will be completely CGI, instead Chiklis in makeup. Clicky the link for more.
